Pony League
Meefs Tuesday
Pony League plans will get
under way Tuesday evening,
March 28, when all interested
persons are requested to meet
ar the Lacy auditorium at 7:30
p.m.
Consideration will be given
for changing to a Senior Little
League which would include 13,
14, and 15-year olds.
All boys and their parents
who are interested in having
part in this sports program are
requested to attend. Only if e-
nough show interest and will

summer project be established.
There is a possibility that

strong league.
Adult leaders hope that by
including the 15-year group,
there will be enough players to
form several teams.

Valley Farmers
Hit By Drought
The Medina Valley Soil
and Water Conservation Dis-
trict staff members report that
in the continued dry weather,
farmers and ranchers are find-
ing it difficult to find ample
grazing for their livestock.
This comes in most periods of
dry weather. Low priced cat-
■tle usually accompany this type
of season. This encourages cat-
tle owners to hold on where
possible, causing severe abuse
of native vegetation.
Landowners should always
take drought and dry weather
into consideration in their
normal stocking rates. Those
who consider this important
phase of the cattle industry
survive with the lease expense
and loss.
Perhaps the best manage-
ment can be found with those
who run a cow-calf, and Stock-
er operation. As dry weather
pressures range grasses, the land
owner can market his Stocker
calves before the bite of drought
affects his range grasses. The
landowner is then able to hold
his good mother cows and
calves, and ride our the dry
season without noticeable harm
to native vegetation.
It is good to remember that
when rain comes, Stocker
calves can be replaced with
less time and expense than the
return of grasses on abused
rangeland.
For a safer operation - and
considering drought at all
times, 7 S/Jo cow-calf - and 25'y<i
Stocker calves, is a simple way
to continue more even profit
in periods of heavy rainfall or
dry weather.

Garden Club
Notes Progress
Outdoor signs in the park-
way area on Hwy. 90 have been
newly painted. Credit for this
improvement to the beautifica-
tion project under Hondo Gar-
den Club sponsorship, with the
City's help, goes to Hondo
Chapter, FFA, directed by vo-
ag instructor John McAnelly.
Other local improvements
noted by the Garden Club in-
clude decorated garbage cans
being made by localCampFire
Girls. The first such are at
the Jimmy Rogers home, 1402
2fith Street. The girls are plan-
ning to take speciaT orderr for
decorated cans to add to their
Camp Fire Group funds.
The City has cleared brush
in the area around the airport
and has plans to repaint the
WelcorrtcNto Hondo sign which
is a city landmark on Hwy. 90.
Garden Club members have
also noted the continuing pro-
gress of the city's paving and
curbing program and their en-
forcement of the recent ordi-
nance requiring owners of va-
cant lots to keep them clean.
Sharing in the clean-up du-
ties on a city-wide basis are
Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Camp
Fire Girls, Blue Birds, FFA and
FHA members, MCAEC groups
and others. To these young peo-
ple must go much of the credit
for the National Clean Town a-
ward recently presented to the
City of Hondo, says the Hondo
Garden Club appreciatively.
